I have practiced Optometry for 29 years. Most have been in my home state of Virginia. This is a state where optometrists can perform procedures at the highest levels of our training. I am honored to be among 12 states offering optometrist the ability to provide in office laser procedures to patients who sincerely need this. Optometrist are educated, trained and certified to perform the procedures outlined in the regulations.  Thank you for taking this moment to provide patients access to laser procedures by Doctors of Optometry
